When I try "wstool init" in section 3.2 i get the following error :

$ wstool init
ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib.
cannot import name __MULTIPRO_CMD_ALIASES__

$ rosinstall --version
rosinstall 0.6.25

Can you check rosinstall --version and which rosinstall.

Install from pip rather than apt-get.

This is a possible solution if you are not on Ubuntu, but you should never need to install from pip on Ubuntu. You should remove the version from pip and install from apt if you are having trouble on Ubuntu.

I did have the version from apt and it wasn't working. I'm open to suggestions for a better way to fix this. :)
